The Garmin Forerunner 645 Music Watch

With the Forerunner 645 Music Runner, Garmin presents a versatile GPS runner with integrated music function for the first time. We have tested the watch and found out how it performs.

Discreet and exclusive: the design

Many have waited for a long time and now Garmin finally released a fitness smart watch. The Forerunner 645 Music is the first Garmin watch to transmit music and play it via Bluetooth headphones. And the design also looks great: The result is technically appealing and above all practical. At the same time, the designers have opted for pure understatement. The watch, which you can buy for 450 euros, is both pleasantly unobtrusive and outstanding. It is light, timeless and elegant – a real eye catcher on your wrist! The display is bright enough even in poor lighting conditions.
